New Thesis: How the amount of funds spent by the government on education and related programs affects the enrollment in public versus private schools.
Old Thesis: How the presence of large corporations affects the socioeconomy of certain locations and the subsequent effect on the funding and quality of education.

I was just using this for my Education class (Kids, Community, and Controversy) good for SES sort of stuff.
Easy data to relate to school performance but its all pre calculated, a good example of percent error too (under view table notes)

Great site to compare singular schools to each other and their districts. No raw data or large data tables but the numbers are reliable (corresponds with US census site (above) where applicable)
data: nes$bigbiz by nes$partyrep
t = 5.1047, df = 1427.151, p-value = 0.000000376
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
3.291279 7.399519
sample estimates: mean in group 1. Yes mean in group 5. No
56.95448 51.60908
Given the low p-value of .0000376%, which is much lower than the 5% level of significance, we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is evidence to suggest that, in the real world, parties do not represent our attitudes towards big businesses.
